Blooming Bulb provided a spectacular shopping experience, and I highly recommend this online vendor. This year, I decided to expand my peony garden and ordered tubers from two online sellers. However, Blooming Bulb emerged as the superior choice.
I purchased a total of 35 peony tubers from both vendors, with 24 from Blooming Bulb and 11 from the other. Remarkably, 22 out of the 24 tubers from Blooming Bulb sprouted successfully. When I reached out to Blooming Bulb’s customer service, they promptly shipped two replacement tubers to me. All tubers have sprouted!
In contrast, my experience with the other online vendor was quite disappointing. Only 4 out of the 11 tubers sprouted, and while 7 were replaced, it took 3-4 weeks for the replacements to arrive. The tubers from the other vendor were small and weak, and the sprouts that did sprout were fragile and some even appear to be dying, even on the replacement tubers.
To ensure consistency, I planted all the tubers from both vendors in the same area using the same approach. The tubers from Blooming Bulb were healthy and produced healthy peony plants. I am hopeful that some of the Blooming Bulb peonies will bloom next year.
Overall, I highly recommend Blooming Bulb if you’re looking for peonies and that you buy early in the planting season. There were 3 peonies that I wanted to buy, but were not available for purchase because BB had “sold out”.
